Many seeds which have a small mass, such as the willow herb, develop long hairs. The hairs increase the air resistance of the seed and allow it to be blown away. The dandelion has a fruit that forms a tuft of hairs. It acts as a parachute and slows down the fruit's sinking speed as the wind blows it along.

Answer:

helps them travel further.

Explanation:

The device that 'slows down the sinking speed' is present to increase the air resistance so that it could be carried away by the wind currents to another place. It's useful to wind-dispersed fruits as it helps to travel further from the parent tree.
